During this week’s MCESD meeting organised at The Malta Chamber the agenda focused on:
• National Drugs Policy (2022-2023)

CEO Dr Marthese Portelli presented The Malta Chamber’s position on both topics.
National Drugs Policy:
• the implications of drug use vis-a-vis colleagues, other employees and the employer
• the occupational health and safety hazards brought about by drug use
• the need for clarity on employer responsibility in terms of OHS requirements and employer rights to information in terms of Data Protection regulations
Licensing of Contractors:
• a step in the right direction which needs to be followed by classification of contractors
• clear demarcation between the roles and responsibilities of the contractor and developer
• tax, VAT and NI compliance as well as employee count verification with Jobsplus
• better use of technology and communication at the various stages of the planning and building process between entities such as PA, BCA, OHSA, and Enemalta
